If I told you, it would be way more information than you ever wanted to know.  You forget he's only home half the year so we have to make that half a year count :)  Sauna was up to 65C so it was mighty hot and walking outside to get back to the cottage, the snow just looked inviting and refreshing.  Our own version of a polar bear dip since our lakes freeze solid up here.

  I completely understand re the too much info and your DH away a lot....  

Awww sounds romantic. I love it!

Had such a good workout last night, feeling really relaxed in my body now, it's good.  The warmer weather helps a lot too, although I did not much like waking up in the dark again after the time change.

Welcome back. I found that just kicking sugar to the curb is the best. Writing it down, etc will help. It looks like you're doing a bit of the 5 Day Pouch Test. Some people on here find that going back to shakes is quite helpful. But you have food thrown in there too, so that's good. How long have you been doing shakes for lunch and dinner?

Are you exercising at all? Maybe it's time to shake it up a little? Getting your vitamins in helps as well. 

Hi Kelly,

Yes I've found info on the 5 Day Pouch test and not sure how I feel about it. I normally eat my meals including lunch and diner but I wanted to see what would happened if I stayed in the 800 cal mark ..I may have something heavier tomorrow.

I'm very active..since the surgery I've become a Zumba Instructor where I teach 5-6 classes per week. I average around 15,000 steps per day.

I've also started to take my vitamins again. Today I've taken: 2 prenatal, calcium/Vit D, B12)..I've also slacked off with water intake so I'm making a point to get the 2 l in today.

I think my downfall was taking in too many sugary carbs. Really hope I'm making a shift in the right direction.
